I now sent patches for powerpc booke warnings

I assume the sh maintainers will eventually get to that

Andrew Morton did a patch for the sparc warnings, and Andreas Larsson
is joining as a maintainer, so hopefully he can pick that up soon.

There are prototypes in include/vdso/gettime.h that should be
used here, but unfortunately the sparc implementation does
not match the prototypes because sparc is missing the gettime64
support.

I made a patch for arch/um yesterday.

I sent a patch in November when the regression started, missed
the reply about needing another change

Linus did a patch for the syscall, and I sent another one for
arch/sh to prevent this from happening again:
